Solid Bamboo Skirting Board

Bamboo skirting board is a great way to finish your bamboo flooring. Skirting board is used to help protect to the base of the wall and helps prevent damage to paintwork or plaster.  To ensure adequate movement for the bamboo floor you must leave an expansion gap of approximately 10mm around the perimeter of the room. By doing so this allows the flooring to expand and contract naturally throughout the summer and winter months, preventing problems with the floor lifiting etc. in the future. Once the floor has been completely fitted,  the skirting boards are used to conceal the expansion gap between the wall and the flooring.
